Pembroke is one of Tasmania’s twenty land districts, in the south-east of the state. It was proclaimed as a county in 1836.
It is bounded by the Little Swanport River to the north and by Storm Bay, Norfolk Bay and Pitt Water to the south and west, and takes in the Tasman and Forestier peninsulas and Maria Island.
Sorell is the main town. Port Arthur, at the foot of the Tasman Peninsula, is the best-known historic site.
